Containing an outstanding selection of 43 drawings by the world-famous firm of Swedish illustrators Tre Tryckare AB (Three Printers, Inc.), this book depicts a fantastic array of classic locomotives. There are the English "Rocket" (1829) and "Evening Star" (1960); the American "Pennsylvania" (1863), "Matt H. Shay, " and "Zephyr" (1934); and numerous other locomotives of great historical interest from these and other countries.
Coverage extends from Richard Trevithick's experimental locomotive of 1805 to a 2,500-hp, diesel-electric locomotive built in America in 1963. A caption is supplied for every illustration.
